About

Rotherhithe is a Thames-side ward with a long maritime history, now characterised by residential conversions of old warehouses and modern apartment blocks. The area's economy is largely based around its residential communities and local high streets, with green spaces like Southwark Park providing recreation. Its connection to the river remains a dominant feature of its geography and layout.

The area is directly linked to the north bank of the Thames via the Rotherhithe Tunnel, a key piece of early 20th-century engineering. The former Surrey Commercial Docks have been redeveloped into a network of residential basins and marinas. St. Mary's Church, with its distinctive wooden spire, stands as one of the few pre-19th century buildings in the locality.
